I've always thought this cover shot was hardcore.

I'll also never forget Ed Hedrick's story about how he'd set up the chassis on his DY Yenko Super Stocker with the help of Grump Jenkins, by doing 6,000 RPM launches while Grump watched how the tires, springs, and pinion would react. Sounds like a logical enough practice, except that the 6 grand launches were made in a 30ft garage while Grump would lay alongside the car. Ed has always said the Grump would do "whatever it takes" to win, and that he probably had more speed secrets up his sleeve than Smokey Yunick. to them all.

I 2nd that 'S-Kid', Ed was telling that story - sounded normal till he said how he'd lock the brakes up to keep from smacking the garage wall
